Now I compare the modules: Apache Solr framework and Search API .
One of the tasks is to make facets look as images.
Please take a look at the attached files to see as I've settled Apache Solr framework for this.
Easy and perfect!
But when I do the same with Search API module I fail to reach this result -may be I need more sofisticated tuning - please advice.

new facet block.PNG9.11 KB

Step by step
1.i installed Apache Solr Search Integration module
2.i put images in /images directory
3.created content type with new field "shape" that has field type =list(text)
4.in field setting i made allowed values list as:

                    1|<img src="/images/rect.png"/> Rectangular
                    2|<img src="/images/round.png"/> Round
                    3|<img src="/images/square.png"/> Square

5.i add some content with different values of "shape" field
6.in Apache Solr Search configuration -i made checked this field as enabled filter
7.Activated blocks with this facet to be visible
8.Made new search page
9.indexed all

and finally i have got a facets block with combined image+text facets (see new attachment !!!)
=================================================================
i tried to make the same with Search API -with NO success -may be another approach has to be (?????)

Steps and (especially) results for the Search API would be slightly more relevant.

Not sure about that. Are we sure that the option list isn't plaintext?

According to fago, options lists have the same format as specified by hook_options_list(), which (can) contain HTML. So this should be correct.
I wondered about the same thing, though.

In that case, even the example of hook_options_list() is wrong :) We should have a check_plain() in there.

Where? Don't know what you mean, please elaborate!

Anyways, great that you are chiming in here, as said, I'm not that certain myself this is the right way.
